trying different length cooling periods

[Shadera]

Read until your eyes bleed. Every website and book you can find, regarding breeding processes. Then choose what you think will work best for you and tweak from there. I think the biggest mistake some newbies make is not reading/learning enough before they jump in with both feet.

Some cool, others don't. Personally, I don't. I've seen no scientific evidence that says I should.

ok , so if there is no cooling period how do u know when to put the male and female together , do u just leave them until they get down, or is there a sign telling u when they need to be put together?

Pair 'em whenever you like. If they're ready, they're ready. I start pairing in earnest on Thanksgiving day. Some breed immediately, and others take some time. There aren't any hard and fast timelines that 100% of animals will stick to. It's part of the frustration and beauty of breeding this species.
